Matchmaster Foundation SPF 15, 1.2-oz.
Product details
Web ID: 594996Please don't discontinue
I've been using this product now for more than 5 years. I have rosacea and it is the only product that is able to cover well. My shade doesn't seem to be available and from some of the reviews, I see that people are worried this product will be discontinued. The only reason it is not popular is because it isn't promoted in the stores. One girl that works there told me that it's, in her opinion, the best foundation you have, many just don't know about it. I really hope you will be continue to make this product. If not I will be forced to go to another brand which I hope not to do.

Best foundation out there!
I have extremely sensitive skin. It's difficult for me to find products that wont make me break out. With that being said, I love this foundation! I love that its SPF 15. it lasts all day. It has the coverage I want. It doesnt make my face oily. It doesnt feel heavy on my face.
Great selection for me.
Since I started wearing this makeup I get comments on how my skin looks. This is my go to makeup for now.
Perfect complexion
I love this formula. I get compliments about my nice complexion when I wear this. It is not heavy and comes off easy with my face wssh.
Another bad foundation choice
Since pro longwear is no longer an option this is my second attempt to find a formula I like as much. Having not got along with studio fix I thought I would give this a try. My skin looked patchy,crusty, chalky and dry. Horrible!! I take skin care seriously and regularly exfoliate so there should be no reason for this. Help!! Please bring back prong wear!!!

The BEST foundation ever
I've been using this foundation for the past 5+ years. When I was in high school, I used to use studio fix but it would always oxidize on my skin and turn me orange. I ventured off and tried dozens of other brands and formulas until I was buying a lipstick one day and a MAC employee recommended this. It's the ONLY formula that looks natural on my skin and lasts all day. I never have to worry about it changing colors or getting greasy or breaking apart. It's not cakey and doesn't settle into any fine/smile lines. I've been trying to buy my shade for about a month now and it hasn't been restocked. I REALLLLY hope that this isn't getting discontinued. I'd have to go to a different brand and I thought my formula testing days were over ):

Not a replacement for Pro Longwear
I was recommended this as a replacement for Pro Longwear which I had worn every day for 6 years until Mac recently discontinued it. The recommended shade is quite different to the NW15 I used to have. It does not control oil anywhere near as well and in places looks crusty. I never needed to use primer with Pro Longwear and am not keen to need to start now. I'm really disappointed that I may need to leave Mac.

Orange
Customer service recommended this after they told me my foundation was discontinued (A few months later went to a store & found out it was available). Based on my shade of the other foundation, got a color recommended & it was very orange on me. Can't return-too far from a store. So frustrating! This is more expensive than the foundation I use & would never purchase again.

Thanks for reaching out, Chels. If the shade looks orange on you, it is too dark. Shades may very between formulas and it sounds like you might need one or two shades lighter than what you have. For return information, please give our Orders Team a call at 1.800.588.0070.
